HCM City has set up friendly ties with eight Chiense provinces, he said.
Agreeing with Yunnan’s cooperation proposals, he stated that the two localities’ geographical differences present opportunities for them to complement each other in their development process. HCM City is ready to further promote joint activities between the sides’ authorities and people toward soon translating collaboration ideas into specific programmes and projects.
Expressing a desire to work with HCM City to elevate the localities’ ties to new heights, Liu stated Yunnan wants to increase their high-ranking delegation exchange as well as inter-department, inter-sector, economic and trade cooperation.
Yunnan encourages and supports local enterprises to seek investment and trade opportunities in HCM City and vice versa, he affirmed. He also proposed that the southern economic hub create favourable conditions for Yunnan enterprises to participate in its market.
Yunnan wants to further step up the sides’ people-to-people and cultural exchange serving their increasing mutual understanding, friendship, and cooperation, he said./.
